Question 6464

Do drivers who have held their driver's license for less than one year have to observe any special speed limit solely because they are novice drivers?

  1. Yes; they must not exceed 80 km/h when driving on roads outside built-up areas.
  2. Yes; they must not exceed 100 km/h when driving on freeways (autopistas) or high-capacity divided highways (autovías).
  3. No.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. If you have held your driver’s license for less than a year, you have the same speed limits as any other driver using the same type of vehicle on the same road. In a passenger car, you may drive at 120 km/h on freeways (autopista) and high-capacity divided highways (autovía). The old special speed limit for novice drivers no longer exists.
